SUSTAINABLE PEST MANAGEMENT & GREEN CONSTRUCTION

We all want a healthier environment; organic foods, natural
products, better air quality, clean water and fewer pesticides. No wonder many
ask us if and how can pests be eliminated without using harmful pesticides.

Along with green construction, sustainable pest control is
achievable but does require a new way of thinking, planning and building. It
also means a little more maintenance and using low-impact products and
ecologically sound materials when necessary. In other words: “Working with
nature rather than fighting it.”

Green Construction:“An ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure.” Consult first with your architect, contractor
and pest control operator to avoid creating or leaving existing conditions that
lead to infestations.

Good drainage in and around structures to prevent
moisture intrusion and water pooling in crawl spaces

Know friends and chase away foes: Spiders, birds,
lizards, and some beetles are all pest predators

Use non-toxic traps or repellents to avoid secondary
wildlife poisoning (e.g. birds of pray and reptiles)

When using retail available products, always follow the
label never exceeding recommendations

Consult with a licensed professional before adding,
remodeling or modifying any improvements

Call to get a periodic pest inspection by a State
Licensed Professional to discover infestations early

Low Impact Pest Control: Nature is tenacious
and in spite of the above recommendations it may still find ways to infest.
Gone are the days of creosote, chlordane and such other pesticides that were
common around homes. Decades of public awareness, research and development have
lead to more target specific and safer products eliminating pests without
affecting occupants, the local ecosystem or surrounding environment.

The subject of Termite Control has been covered intensively by the world press over the past decade. In depth analysis of Termite Control can be an enriching experience. While much has been written on its influence on contemporary living, Termite Control is featuring more and more in the ideals of the young and upwardly mobile. Inevitably feelings run deep amongst the upper echelons of progressive service sector organizations, whom I can say no more about due to legal restrictions. At the heart of the subject are a number of key factors. I plan to examine each of these factors in detail and asses their importance.
